LOGIQ V3/V5/V5 Expert – Basic Service Manual
5726264-100 English Rev.8
While the software install procedure is designed to preserve
data, you should save any patient data, images, system setups
to removable media or hardcopy before doing a software
upgrade.
Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments
that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care
when handling and protect from damage when not in use. Do
NOT use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these
precautions can result in serious injury and equipment
damage.
Never use a probe that has fallen to the floor. Even if it looks
OK, it may be damaged.
When the Ultrasound system is raised for a repair or moved
along any incline, use extreme caution since it may become
unstable and tip over.
Take extra care when moving the system.
The LOGIQ V3/V5/V5 Expert weighs approximately 65 kg (144
lbs) or more, depending on installed peripherals, when ready
for use. To avoid possible injury and equipment damage when
transporting from one area of use to another:
•
Be sure the pathway is clear.
•
Limit movement to a slow careful walk.
•
Use two or more persons to move the equipment on
inclines or long distance.
Before you move or transport the Ultrasound system, make
sure to lock the LCD monitor arm firmly and flip down the
monitor to prevent damage to the Ultrasound system.
